Fernwood is a historic estate house at 155 Clyde Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. The estate house was designed by Charles Patch and built in 1909 for Alfred Douglass, a retired New York merchant. The landscaping was done to a plan by the Olmsted Brothers. The 2-1/2 story masonry building is in the Jacobethan or Tudor Revival that was popular at the time. The Fernwood estate was subdivided later in the 20th century, including splitting off the servant's quarters.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1] It is now owned by a religious institution.
